Biography
Daniel Carroll was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland in 1730, the brother of bishop John Carroll and the cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. He studied under the Jesuits in France and served in the Maryland Senate from 1777 to 1781, raising troops and money for the American cause during the American Revolutionary War. In 1787, he served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and he and Thomas Fitzsimons were the only Catholics to sign the US Constitution. Carroll supported the federal assumption of state debts, and, as one of the commissioners appointed to survey the newly designated District of Columbia, he helped to design the city until poor health led to his retirement in 1795 and to his death in 1796.
